Although FinTech promises greatly expanded financial inclusion and other valuable economic benefits, its radical transformational consequences are threatening to disrupt finance and even jeopardize the stability of the financial system. Scholars have been grappling with how the law can control these risks, but their contributions to date have been largely ad hoc. They also disagree whether FinTech-driven innovations are radically changing the financial system, necessitating complete new forms of regulation, or whether those innovations merely present the same types of risks already associated with electronic banking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The speaker attempts to build a systematic framework for regulating FinTech-driven innovations. In that process, he will clarify and simplify the confusing terminology, which makes FinTech appear more complicated than it is. He also will show how the framework should more generally inform the regulation of financial innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>About Prof. Steven L.
